Big Scooby-Doo Guy. Ideal spooky content, ideal for a solid rot. We have a few house favorites, figured we'd make you a list.
Theme Music swells
'We've got some work to do now'
Scooby-Doo On Zombie Island (1998):
The Gang head to a haunted 'Bayou Island' to investigate the ghost of Moonscar the Pirate. Turns out his spirit isn't the only spooky happening on the island. Considered a one-off experiment by studio brass, the crew worked with little to no oversight and complete creative freedom. Originally set to be a theatrical release it was shifted to a direct to Vhs release, priced at an above market rate of $19.95, sales exceeded studio expectations.
AB Take:
10/10 I watch it yearly.
Scooby-Doo. (2002, Live Action Remake)
Soul snatching fun, absolute classic. Velma's top tier in this one. AWOOGA. Huge Matthew Lillard fan, meant to be the shaggy, sidebar: He does not get the love he deserves.
Go rewatch it.
AB Take:
This shit rules. Second one is kinda mid Ngl, but I still be watching it. Alwasy love me a Freddy Prince sighting.
Scooby Doo, Where Are You! (1969)
Where it all began, iconic and timeless. Created by Joe Ruby and Ken Spears, it was the result of CBS and Hanna-Barbera's plans to create a non-violent Saturday morning program to appease angry parental watch groups protesting superhero themed programs of the mid 60s.
AB Take:
Love it with all my heart, peak childhood. Soothing af. Huge fan of Walter Peregoy. His backgrounds and color work make me swoon.
A Pup named Scooby-Doo. (1988)
This theme song is forever burned into my mind. Its repetitive but its peak nostalgia.
Atlas Take:
Great animation, fun to revisit on the worst of hangovers.
Scooby-doo and the Cyber Chase. (2001)
The final Hanna-Barbera production to be produced by both before Hanna's death in March 2001. It is widely considered to be one of the 4 best production movies, they are all included in this list and were animated by Mook Animation Inc. True icons, they provided animation services for Western television programs and feature films, mostly for Hanna-Barbera and later Cartoon network. Noted works and additions include:
- Swat Kats.
- The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest.
- Aeon Flux
- Men in Black: The Series.
- Spawn.
- X-Men: Evolution.
- Transformers: Animated.
Atlas Take:
I love all these movies, so Im biased. Mook animated a lot of my favorite cartoons, stylistically a blast. Classic gags, timeless appeal.
Scooby-Doo and the Alien Invaders. (2000)
Also animated by Mook, worth the watch. The gangs stuck in the wrong place at the right time to investigate alien tomfoolery around Roswell, New Mexico. The first of all the movies to be release on both Vhs and Dvd.
Atlas Take:
Pretty fun, love the Roswell setting. Shaggy goes on a date. so thats rad.
Scooby-Doo and the Witches Ghost. (1999)
The Last of the 4, this one has Goth Baddies, and a spooky New England setting. After the success of Zombie Island, (which was a creative experiment in terms of oversight) Warner Bros chose to considerably scale back the productions creative freedom. Some speculate it was push back for making Zombie Island too scary for their intended audience.
Atlas Take:
This ones cool, but its a last choice for me. You can tell they consciously toned down the film.
